All of my snaps that used to be available on the command line and in my launcher are suddenly missing, despite still being installed and enabled:

They worked just yesterday, and all I've changed is my default shell (zsh now, instead of bash). My PATH variable is exactly the same and there is nothing missing from my .zshrc that is present in my .bashrc that could affect this as far as I can tell.

How do I get my snaps accessible again?

  • Is /snap/bin in your path? – Terrance Feb 16 '18 at 22:39
  • @Terrance no, but my original .bashrc didn't have any explicit instruction to add it to my path, either, so I figure some other thing is failing to add it in that used to. – Ethan McTague Feb 16 '18 at 22:40
  • I am looking into this one as one of my systems has it in the path somewhere, but it is not in the .bashrc or the .profile so I am looking for that one. The other system that doesn't have it at one point I had it added to the /etc/environment file, but it looks as though that was overwritten. Searching for the answer on this. – Terrance Feb 16 '18 at 22:45
  • @Terrance I found it in /etc/profile.d/apps-bin-path.sh. Adding source /etc/profile.d/apps-bin-path.sh to my .zshrc. Now I guess my only problem is the launcher,. – Ethan McTague Feb 16 '18 at 22:46
  • Good find. Unfortunately, that doesn't explain though why they are missing from the launcher though. – Terrance Feb 16 '18 at 22:48
  • My work system here is in the same boat. All the snaps stopped working and the path won't even stay for some reason. Almost like the /etc/profile is not loading at startup. Plus, I am getting execl failed: No such file or directory when I try to run any of them. Looking to see if I can find anything on this and why now. – Terrance Feb 17 '18 at 00:58
  • Out of curiosity, what version does snap version say it is? If you could edit your question and add that information. – Terrance Feb 17 '18 at 01:05
  • @Terrance ➜ snap version snap 2.30 snapd 2.30 series 16 neon 16.04 kernel 4.13.0-32-generic – Ethan McTague Feb 17 '18 at 01:10

You're hitting this snap bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1640514

A workaround is to explicitly source /etc/profile.d/apps-bin-path.sh in your .zshrc or .zshenv.
